Well, I'm sure glad you corrected me on that - what was I thinking, naming my own beer dispenser without consulting you? :D

Threw the roof up for the front door - still have to shingle it, then pull the temp supports.

Good weekend Underlayment installed I didn't need ice guard, but I had some left over from the main roof and figured I'd use it up. Finished the rest with just 30# felt. What do you do when you need to install a 15' long piece of really flexible trim board but are working alone? You...

Not quite ready to start brewing on premises, but at least I'm moving in my gear

Rained all weekend, but managed to at least get the last of the sheathing up

Snuck in a couple hours of work last night to finish up the overhang framing. Now just more sheathing, then roofing.

I wish! :D

Goofed off for the holiday weekend, but got a little more done prior to shenanigans. Got half of the overhang framed.

Exactly! :D

Weekend efforts.... Got all but the last two rafters up. A few of the boards that were delivered promptly twisted so badly that they are unusable, and my truck is currently out of commission so I have to wait before finishing up the rafters and overhang. (just noticed that in the photo...

Worked until I completely ran out of daylight

First roof ledger screwed to the house, awaiting concrete anchors to be installed In the course of drilling for the anchors, I managed to melt down my hammer drill. I ended up renting a biggun' from the Depot to finish the job - should have done that from the start. So much easier! Here...

A bit more progress Flashed the ledger Decked Roof plans at the ready

Phew! Good thing I'm not a carpenter - I'd be pissed if I never finished this place :D

Saturday and Sunday weren't quite so nice weather wise, but it had to get done. What's a little rain, anyway? Built the beams first Framed the perimeter, with temp supports Brought everything to, well, not level - it's slightly pitched away from the house - but flat and to the...

A nice sunny Friday to start the screened porch project Piers, ready for something to support Didn't have a lot of time available that day, so I only got as far as mounting the ledger to the house. Had to drill 7 anchors into the concrete - always a fun proposition.

Lumber delivery tomorrow for the screen porch. Pretty excited to be doing some big stuff again!
